“…but surely the fairest to have ever held Gryffindor’s goblin-forged blade is Orva Prewett of Devon. Born before Hogwarts had established financial assistance for those witches and wizards not wealthy enough to pay their way, Orva was removed from school so that her family might afford to send her younger brothers instead. As kind, content, and unresentful as she was beautiful, Orva bore them no ill will and accompanied them faithfully to the gates of the school each year, for these were the days of the eleventh goblin wars, long before the Hogwarts Express.
“On one such occasion the twin boys were set upon by brigands just outside the gates, and Orva, who had given her wand away to the boys, was helpless to fight. She ran to the school for help, but found no one who would rescue her brothers, these being very callous times. Alighting on the Sorting Hat, she begged that it might give her the courage to defend the boys, and miraculously found herself in possession of the Gryffindor’s sword. With it she was able to beat back her brothers’ assailants before they could reach the school grounds, and for her heroism she was reinstated as a Hogwarts student. In time she became a very respected Defense Professor.” - excerpt from Hogwarts, A History
